A place in the World Cup final or expulsion?
The rivalry of the Kiwi coaches is what awaits the second Rugby World Cup semifinal between the All Blacks and the Wallabies this evening.
Around many parts of Christchurch, Robbie Deans and the Wallabies are number 1.
Deans has been waiting for so long for his revenge.
This week, he was asked if, as the apprentice, he had come back to haunt the master.
“Not at all”, he said.
This is an emotional moment for most of New Zealand.
One Kiwi can fulfill a dream.
Another can take it away.
In Auckland, rugby fans have a mixed reaction to the game.
All Blacks, coach, Graham Henry believes this is the biggest game his players will be involved this decade.
Meanwhile last night, France battled to a place in the final with a 9-8 win over a brave Welsh side, who never recovered from the first-half sending-off of their inspirational captain Sam Warburton.
The All Blacks and Wallabies semifinal kicks-off at 8pm and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station, Viti FM with the voice of rugby, Mala Veisamasama and Ilivasi Tabua.
